NAME¶

SFIDL - SFI IDL Compiler

SYNOPSIS¶

sfidl [OPTIONS] input.idl

DESCRIPTION¶

sfidl generates glue code for BSE objects and plugins from interface definition language files.

OPTIONS¶

--help [binding]

 

Print general usage information. Or, if binding was specified, print usage information for this language binding.

 

--version

 

Print program version.

 

-I DIRECTORY

 

Add DIRECTORY to include path.

 

--print-include-path

 

Print include path.

 

--nostdinc

 

Prevents standard include path from being used.

 

Language bindings:¶

--client-c

 

Generate C client language binding.

 

--client-c

 

Generate C core language binding.

 

--host-c

 

Generate C host language binding.

 

--client-cxx

 

Generate C++ client language binding.

 

--core-cxx

 

Generate C++ core language binding.

 

--plugin

 

Generate C++ plugin language binding.

 

--list-types

 

Print all types defined in the idlfile. This option is used only for BSE internally to ease transition from C to C++ types.

 

Language binding options:¶

--header

 

Generate header file, this is the default.

 

--source

 

Generate source file.

 

--prefix prefix

 

C host/client language binding option, sets the prefix for C functions. The prefix ensures that no symbol clashes will occur between different programs/libraries which are using a binding, so it is important to set it to something unique to your application/library.

 

--init name

 

Set the name of the init function for C host/core bindings.

 

--namespace namespace

 

C++ client language binding, sets the namespace to use for the code. The namespace ensures that no symbol clashes will occur between different programs/libraries which are using a binding, so it is important to set it to something unique to your application/library.

 

--lower

 

Select lower case identifiers in the C++ client language binding (create_midi_synth), this is the default.

 

--mixed

 

Select mixed case identifiers in the C++ client language binding (createMidiSynth).
